Alec Marsh delivered a strong performance on Friday, allowing just one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 5 1/3 innings in the Royals' 8-3 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a showcase of Marsh's strikeout capabilities, significantly enhancing his season K/9 rate and demonstrating his potential to dominate opposing lineups. Despite an elevated season ERA of 4.52, performances like this highlight his upside and could make him a more appealing option for fantasy managers looking for strikeouts and quality starts. His consistent ability to maintain a decent WHIP (1.23) and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.22) further solidifies his fantasy relevance in leagues that value pitching metrics beyond just wins and ERA.
